    Very sad.No day goes without hearing bus scooter accident and atleast one looses life.And our karnataka Govt.is not taking any steps to avoid this by giving/making a seperate line for scooter,.And buses should be punished heavily.Wearing helmet too is important ,but not cheaper variety but fitting and doesnt fall or breakdown when falls ..Govt,is busy fighting for cows and their rights .not humans .Each one is looking how much other MLA collected .Sorry to hear one is dead and other is serious.Hoping other one will survive and get back to health soonMay her soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathy to the family.

    Wear helmet or parachute it doesn't matter when you drive on the wrong side. Heavy vehicles on these routes seldom follow the traffic rules.

    Scooter is a very adventurous vehicle on public roads... Especially in hilly terrain like Sullia it is difficult to control in close encounters... Most unfortunate incident and so fateful... RIP to the departed soul... Prayers for the survivor...
